Thursday I went to Walmart and did some shopping. While I was there I spied a small basket of plastic food for Mary to play with. She loved it. As soon as we came back she wanted me to take the cellophane off her basket so she could start playing. There were 2 plastic ice cream cones in the mix. There was a vanilla one and a strawberry one. Perfect for a little girl who loves to be social:) She began pretending to taste it and share it with mommy. I quickly grabbed the camera and got her exclaiming delicious after she took slurp of it. So cute how kids can get so much fun out of the simple of things of life.A few days later I bought her another Spot book by Eric Hill. It is called, "Where's Spot?" She also has "Spots First Walk" and "Spot Bakes a Cake". She loves these books and has me read them to her over and over and looks at them by herself many times. I have put in a few pics of her favorite pages.
She smiles and loves to say, "Nooo" and then opens the doors and says, "It's a monkey!"
She giggles at this page and loves to say, "A mess!"
Here she is with her "real life" Spot. She has had this stuffed dog for a year, but last night she started calling him, Spot!
Sweet are the imaginations of a child.

we also have these books... when my son was younger we have read them over and over... we also have cartoons on DVD...
That reminds me of when my great niece loved her plastic food..........and she had a bunch of it. She had served my brother some bacon and some how he made it disappear up the sleeve of his shirt. She got most upset as she thought he had eaten the food. She ran crying to her Mother and said that uncle Mike didn't know how to pretend right. You do stir up the memories for me. Thank you!

How cute, Sis! Mary definitely has a very good imagination to be doing pretend play at her age.
How cute! Kristine
What a sweetie pie. How cute that she wanted that plastic food and immediately started playing! You are a great mother!
Hugs, Sharon
Such a truly beautiful little girl - you are very blessed, and so is she to have a mother who is so interested in helping her develop. Reading with Mary is a wonderful gift for her, and she is repaying it tenfold for you by reading by herself.
Blessings to you all
